The Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of Cybernetic Existentialism will present a comprehensive retrospective exhibition celebrating the groundbreaking work of Ruffo Caselli (1932–2020), a pioneer in Cybernetic Existentialism. The exhibition, curated by Carmen Gallo, will showcase Caselli’s innovative artistic vision that merged technology with human experience throughout his distinguished career.
The retrospective features a carefully selected collection of works that explore the intersection of robotics and human consciousness. Caselli’s art addresses women’s struggles against violence, a recurring theme that defined much of his creative output and established his reputation as a socially conscious artist.
“Caselli’s work challenged conventional artistic boundaries by exploring the relationship between humanity and technology through a socially conscious lens,” said Carmen Gallo, curator of the exhibition. “His vision remains remarkably relevant in today’s technology-dependent world.”
Exhibition Highlights Historic and Provocative Works
The exhibition includes thought-provoking pieces originally showcased at Soho’s Spazio Italia Gallery during the 1990s. These works represent a pivotal period in Caselli’s career when he gained international recognition for his unique approach to art and technology.
Additional featured works explore the concept of sexual robots, demonstrating Caselli’s willingness to tackle controversial subjects. Among these is a striking piece depicting a sexual robot with microchips hanging over her belly, which was recently exhibited in Genoa, Italy, generating significant viewer engagement. The curated selection provides insight into the artist’s evolution and his persistent examination of gender dynamics within technological contexts.
Bridging Art, Technology, and Social Commentary
Caselli’s artistic practice positioned him at the forefront of Cybernetic Existentialism, a movement that examines human existence through the lens of emerging technologies. His work consistently juxtaposed robotics with feminist concerns, creating dialogue about technology’s role in society.
The retrospective serves dual purposes as both historical documentation and contemporary examination. It offers viewers an opportunity to engage with questions about artificial intelligence, gender equality, and human consciousness that remain pressing in current discourse.
Exhibition Generates Significant Interest
The upcoming exhibition has attracted considerable attention throughout Italy, where it is scheduled to take place in the near future. Art historians and technology scholars have expressed interest in the comprehensive presentation of Caselli’s work.
The Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of Cybernetic Existentialism selected Caselli’s work for this retrospective to highlight his contributions to contemporary art and philosophical inquiry. The exhibition represents more than a display of artistic achievement; it provides a window into visionary thinking that anticipated many current debates about technology and humanity.
Visitors to the exhibition will encounter works that span Caselli’s career, offering perspective on how his artistic concerns evolved while maintaining focus on the relationship between technological advancement and human values. The retrospective acknowledges Caselli’s legacy as an artist who refused to separate aesthetic concerns from social responsibility.
